The Sutra-Kritanga Sutra Translation - A Sadhu, afflicted by the aforementioned afflictions, obstacles, and hindrances, should not desire life, nor should he seek praise, honor, glory, and renown while being honored and respected. Thus, a Sadhu who is detached from worship, prestige, and life, and who dwells in an empty house, becomes accustomed to enduring fearful afflictions.
Commentary - Even though he is being praised by the terrible afflictions, he should not desire life. The meaning is that he should endure the afflictions while being detached from life. He should not desire praise or excellence by enduring afflictions. Thus, a Sadhu who is detached from life and worship, repeatedly endures the fearful, terrible Shiva-Pisachas, etc., and becomes accustomed to them, approaching their nature. By enduring them, the afflictions arising from cold, heat, etc., become bearable for the mendicant, like a tamed elephant in a stable.
The one who is more advanced, who is fearless, dwells in a secluded place. They call him a Samayika, because he does not show fear to himself.
Commentary - Again, another teaching is given - The one whose soul has been brought near to knowledge, etc., is called Upaneet. The one who is extremely advanced is called Upaneetatar. The one who benefits others, or the one who is a protector of the right path, is called Tayin. The one who serves is called Bhajaman. The one who dwells in a place free from women, animals, and fools is called Vivikt. The omniscient ones call such a Muni a Samayika, because he has a nature of equanimity. It is necessary to understand that such a Muni should behave in the way described earlier, and he should not show fear to himself, meaning he should not be afraid of the afflictions caused by the environment. They call him a Samayika.
